Yep! But I am a high school teacher. Wish I could just tell them I am pregnant so they would stop being so rude. Also I teach a couple of IB classes and right now we are in the thick of it as we getting them ready for their IB exams. So much to do! So little energy! Much respect to the Elementary teachers! I could not do that! But the again, high school kids are not angels either! Good luck to all and wishing for more energy second trimester!

The combination of disrespectful middle schoolers and my raging hormones aren't mixing too well lately. I wish they could understand how bad I feel all day long and I think they would be better. I could have strangled multiple students today. Counting down the days to thanksgiving break!!!

I teach 10th grade English. Today we are in the computer lab and luckily there is a bathroom across the hall from it or else I would have had to puke into a garbage can! I am the worst teacher when pregnant...

I was teaching when pregnant with DD, and plan to go back once the kids are older. I taught 3rd grade, and good golly, they wore me out. I made class jobs, and it was the Best. Decision. Ever. I had kids to do all the little things like rearranging the schedule, feeding the fish, distributing homework, and it saved me a ton of energy, mostly because I could go home a little earlier and nap. I had a list of the jobs and descriptions (careful to have enough for all!) and had the kids "apply" for the jobs. They kept one job for the year, so that it wasn't something to be constantly retaught and the substitute had that much less to worry about when she took over. A few kids had to switch out, but that was easy.

Also, I would say things like "Find my water bottle!" and they were ON IT. I had a rolling stool so that I didn't have to walk everywhere, and at the end I had to keep my feet up, so I spent a bunch of time at the front of the room or my desk, and the kids had to come to me. We also played "Teacher" often, where kids would get to teach review lessons (with strict guidance, of course!) so that they could explain what they learned in their words, use a higher order of thinking, and I didn't need to be standing up there. I called a ton of kids to the SmartBoard to show their thinking, too.

Whatever works.
